LMU Dance Senior Showcase 2025
Welcome!
The Equitable Commercial Dance Program (ECDP) and Career Catapult Initiative (CCI) augments our core dance curriculum, providing students with the opportunity to explore the depths of commercial dance and career readiness. Infused with the rich traditions of Loyola Marymount University, coupled with the dynamism of our city of Los Angeles, the ECDP and CCI increase students’ latitude for varied, meaningful, and sustainable careers in dance. Through intentionally transformative experiences, our goal is not only to help them envision their future careers but to awaken their understanding of the immense impact they can have as future dance changemakers.
At the heart of our one-of-a-kind programs lies a conviction that extends beyond dance training. We are driven to break barriers and ignite positive change. In pursuit of this vision, we've collaborated closely with dance leaders in entertainment, bridging the gap between collegiate dance education and the professional dance industry.
Seeing the many ways in which movement is a technology in today's world for making meaning, building empathy, telling stories, grabbing attention, setting trends, building community, and amplifying voices, hope surges within me for what lies ahead in the field of dance. I am filled with the belief that this generation possesses the power to create a brighter tomorrow, where dance is a powerful agent in mainstream media, and professional dancers reflect the rich diversity of our world. Each individual presented here carries the torch of possibility, poised to leave an indelible mark on our collective national and global dance communities.
I want to express my deepest gratitude for your support of LMU Dance. Your belief in our students is the lifeblood that feeds our actualities today and possibilities tomorrow. Thank you, and I introduce to you the 2025 graduating seniors from our Equitable Commercial Dance Program and our commercial Career Catapult Initiative.
